Maintenance Technician – Multifamily Community

We are seeking an experienced, dependable Maintenance Technician for a smaller-scale, high-quality multifamily townhome community in Sherman, Texas.
This individual will serve as the primary on-site maintenance professional for the community and must be comfortable independently managing the property's day-to-day maintenance needs.

- Perform and oversee make-ready turns, including thorough inspections and quality control, to ensure homes are fully ready for new move-ins.
- Maintain pool and amenity areas, including routine pool maintenance and required logs.
- Perform regular property walks and proactively identify maintenance, safety, curb appeal, and repair needs.
- Communicate clearly with the Community Director regarding work-order status, parts needed, vendor needs, resident concerns, and follow-up items.
- Provide accurate work-order notes, photos, and documentation.
- Coordinate with vendors when repairs are outside the scope of in-house maintenance.
- Assist with preventive maintenance planning and execution.
- Maintain tools, supplies, inventory, and shop areas in an organized manner.
- Respond professionally to residents, vendors, and management.
- Participate in after-hours emergency response as needed.
